There are quite a some people (increasing every day) using open-sharedroot 
clusters in productive environments with loads of different applications. I 
also wrote a MiniHowto and some other docs (have a look at 
www.open-sharedroot.org) to give assistance.

As Mike Hagmann already stated it is not a trivial task to build up such a 
cluster (as it's not a trivialtask to build up any type of productive 
clusters, but isn't that a reason why we are doing all that ;-) ) but the 
MiniHowto should help you on the one hand and on the other hand you can get 
more help from open-sharedroot or us at ATIX (www.atix.de). If you like.
Feel free to ask.
Regards and have fun
Marc.
